Recently, China Shipbuilding 712 Institute successfully obtained the first domestic compliance certificate for a shore-based monitoring platform for battery-powered ships issued by the Wuhan Rules & Research Institute of China Classification Society (CCS). This achievement signifies that 712 Institute’s technical capabilities and platform construction level in this field have received authoritative recognition, laying a solid foundation for ensuring the safe operation of battery-powered ships.
With the rapid development of the new energy ship industry, the safe operation of battery-powered ships has become a key focus in the sector. Based on their operational characteristics, relevant regulations explicitly require that “ship power system operational data must be connected to the CCS inspection and verification platform” and that “the shore-based monitoring platform must be approved by CCS.” In response to these regulatory requirements, 712 Institute independently developed and built a compliant shore-based monitoring platform and formally submitted an application for CCS approval.
CCS attached great importance to this application. The Wuhan Rules & Research Institute promptly collaborated with the Information Center and the Technology Innovation Test Center to form a professional technical team. The team conducted a comprehensive and in-depth evaluation of the platform’s core functional aspects, including data reception, storage, and reporting, as well as critical indicators such as the integrity, consistency, timeliness, and security of the processed data. After rigorous and meticulous review, the shore-based monitoring platform’s performance metrics fully met the regulatory requirements and successfully obtained approval.
Taking this certification as an opportunity, 712 Institute will continue to optimize platform performance, deepen cooperation with CCS and other institutions, and actively participate in the formulation of relevant standards. These efforts aim to enhance the safety supervision and operational efficiency of China’s battery-powered ships and contribute to the realization of the national “dual carbon” strategic goals.
